Hammer drill broke in half dw988

[External image (img.photobucket.com), not copied]

was drilling holes in the lawn soft clay dirt w/ earth auger in hammer mode, did 29 holes and on the final one caught a rock and torque snapped the handle case in half.

never dropped , kept indoors in its case and used maybe every 3 months if that. the plastic is a bit brittle.

I tried JB weld but broke again the next day.  is the case available to be replaced?

There is a DW988 & a DC988.  Make sure u got the right model #.  The case (“Clamshell”) is $12-20 depending on the model & type you have.  It does not come with the 2 stickers (“Dewalt Logo Label” & “Nameplate”), or the screws.
